AAA Applications Must Be On File
Before April 30
Farmers in Jackson county who
have not filed applications for pay
ment under the 1939 agricultural
conservation program and are eligi
ble for payment should sign appli
cations immediately. These appli
cations must be filed in the county
office on or before April 30, the
closing date for filing 1939 applica
tions.

Farmer* Urged To Apply Early For
Cotton Classing
Jackson county cotton growers be
longing to one-variety cotton im
provement groups, which plan to use
the free classing and market news
services of the Agricultural Market
ing Service for their 1940 crop,
should file their applications as soon
after their cotton is planted as may
be possible.
Applications for the free classing
and market news service will be
considered in the order in which
they are received after allowance
has been made for the different
planting dates over the Cotton Belt.
Another advantage of applying
early is that applications can be
acted upon in plenty of time for one
variety groups to receive their ship
ping tags and other supplies. Last
season some of the groups whose ap
plications were late did not receive
ther supplies until after their first
cotton had been picked and ginned.
This meant that they were unable to
have samples from their early gin
nings classed.
Instructions for making applica
tion and forms for applying can be
obtained by addressing the Agricul
tural Marketing Service, Box 4027,
Atlanta, Georgia.

4-H Scholarships
Two SI,OOO national 4-H fellow
ships which call for nine months’
study at the U. S. Department of
Agriculture in the nation’s capital
will be awarded again this year.
Georgia has the privilege of nomi
nating one man and one woman, both
under 25 years of age, who have
shown outstanding ability in 4-H
club and college work. Candidates
must show promise of future lead
ership in their respective fields of
agriculture and home economics.
Applications for 1 * the fellowships
must qualify immediately with either
the county farm or home demonstra
tion agent, in order that applications
may be sent to Washington, D. C.,
before April 25.
tt t t
Poultry Tip*
April is one of the best months to
start Leghorn chicks. Don’t put off
placing orders with some reliable
hatchery.
Leghorns should take from 5 to 6
months to reach maturity and begin
laying; therefore, chicks hatched in
April should begin to lay in October.
Chicks hatched after April usually
grow off slower; they are more sus
ceptible to disease; they make small
er pullets and are seldom profitable.
In raising chicks with hens, hard
boiled eggs, corn bread, cracked
corn, or wheat, chopped greens, and
buttermilk are good feeds to start
them on where u regular starting
mash is not used.
Most poultry raisers do not pro
vide good feeders and waterers. A
few cents invested for feed equip
ment will pay big dividends in pre
vent waste of feed.
Outbreaks of bronchitis have been
reported from several parts of the
State. This disease is very infectious
and poultry raisers should isolate
any house where outbreaks occur
and try to prevent spread to other
chickens.
As soon ns chicks no longer need
heat (6 to 8 weeks of age), they
should be removed to range shelters
and given free range on clean
ground.
Plan now to have enough range
shelters for the pullets you intend
to raise. One shelter will house 100
growing pulllets.
April is a good month to put up
eggs in water glass for home use
next fall when eggs are scarce.
To prevent dirty eggs provide
plenty of clean nesting material and
gather eggs several times a day.
In feeding hens, watch their body
weights and, if they are getting too
fat, reduce the amount of corn fed
daily.

Cotton Mattress Demonstration
Program
An Extension Service project in
co-operation with the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corporation, Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
and other agencies and organizations
being a cotton mattress demonstra
tion program is being worked out in
Jackson County. This is. more or
less an experiment and at present
is being conducted in only four
counties in the State, Jackson Coun
ty being one of the four.
Pursuant to the provisions of law
relating to the disposal of surplus
commodities, the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation will make
surplus cotton available to farm fam
ilies of low-income groups, which
means any farm family having a
total income for the calendar year
1939 of not more than $400.00 may
make application for cotton and tick
ing to be made into a full double
size mattress.
Mattress making centers will be
established in various sections of
the county. Applications will be ap
proved by the Triple-A Committee
and all mattresses will be completely
made in the center nearest the ap
plicant. It is our plan to have four
teen mattress making centers in the
county, eight of which are to be
white centers and six colored cen
ters.
Further information may be ob
tained from your county or home
demonstration agent upon request.
‘GOODEST’ DADDY
GIVEN SUSPENDED
SENTENCE BY JUDGE
New York.—Sam Hanft is free
because a little boy and a litte girl
walked into federal court and said
tearfully that their daddy is the
“goodest” in the world.
Hanft, 44, was sentenced with 30
others, to a year and a day for boot
legging. Court had recessed. In
an empty aisle stood Erwin Hanft,
10, holding his sister, Rhoda, 5, by
the hand.
They wanted to know what had
happened to daddy.
Court attaches called Federal
Judge Robert A. Inch back to the
bench.
“My daddy is the goodest I ever
saw,” said Erwin. He ain’t no
bootlegger. He’s a wonderful dad
dy. He makes us good meals.”
Judge Inch recalled Hanft to the
court and suspended sentence.

Highlights of Farm Women’* Work
In 1939
Georgia farm women accomplish
ed big things during 1939. With
home demonstration agents and Ex
tension specialists acting as leaders,
they saved approximately $467,080
through home improvement and
house furnishings activities.
Canned or otherwise preserved
farm products valued at approxi
mately $1,091,000.
Assisted in the clinic for the im
munization of smallpox, diptheria
and typhoid with the result that 57,-
000 individuals were immunized
against the three diseases.
Gave increased attention to handi
crafts. Over 17,000 families from
1,540 Georgia communities made
articles in the home which ranged
from rugs and baskets to pictures,
plaques and pottery.
Saved approximately $280,000
adopting improved practices in dry
cleaning and laundering, through
dyeing, making over garments and
in construction of clothing. A total
of 302,947 articles of clothing were
constructed.
Sold miscellaneous farm products
valued at $547,765 through retail
curb markets, roadside markets,
bartering, retail grocers, rolling
stores, community trucks, hotels,
tea rooms, and parcel post through
post card contacts.
Serve Fruit Whips
Fruit whips are good to serve
during any season of the year. They
are simple to prepare, inexpensive,
and delicious.
Fruits of pronounced flavor and
color make the best fruit whips, for
example, peaches, apricots, and
prunes. Cook, sieve, and sweeten
the fruit for a whip before you beat
the egg whites. If the whites stand
they will lose much of the air that
has been worked into them by beat
ing.
Egg whites whip up more quickly
when they are at ordinary room
temperature, so get the eggs out of
the refrigerator ahead of time.
Avoid getting egg yolk or any fat on
the beater. If it get3 into the
whites, they won’t beat up as stiffly
as you want them.
Adding a pinch of salt to the egg
whites before beating will increase
the volume of the foam and make
it loss l’kely to become watery if
it stands. Either a rotary beater
or a whip or whisk beater may be
used. A rotary beater makes a finer
foam, but a whip beater makes a
greater volume. Beat until the
whites are stiff, but not dry. At this
stage the foam will be shiny and
will hold its shape when the beater
is removed.
Hot fruit pulp added to the beat
en eggs partly cooks them. The best
technique for combining them is to
pour the hot fruit mixture gradually
over the egg whites. Use a gentle,
folding motion for mixing. If the
whip is to be baked, pour at once
into a buttered mold or pan. Set
this in a pan of water and cook for
about an hour, in a very slow oven
(225 D. to 250 D. F.) A whip cook
ed slowly should not fall when taken
from the oven.
If the whip is served without
cooking, mix only a short time be
fore you want it . Whipped cream,
if used is added after the egg and
fruit mixture has cooled and just be
fore serving. If the whip must stand
a little gelatine added to the hot
fruit pulp (after being softened in
cold water) will keep it light and
fluffy. Use 1 teaspoon of gelatine
to 3 egg whites and 1 cup of fruit
pulp. Chill in refrigerator.
SUNSHINE AND RAIN
There is no sunshine seems so sweet,
As that which follows rain;
There is no rest that’s so complete,
As that which follows pain.
It is the bitter makes the sweet,
The cross that makes the crown;
It is the sting of grim defeat
To vict’ry brings renown.
Life would be droll and dull indeed
If, every day were bright;
Of day we would not know the need*'
If God had made no night.
And, if some rain should come my
way
Why should I droop and pine?
I know the clouds will pass away—
The sun more brightly shine.
I know the God, who sends the rain,
Knows best for me and you;
I know the flowers will bloom again,
The sun come smiling through.
1 see his rainbow in the sky,
By faith, I now can see
The God, who reigns and rules on
high,
Knows what is best for me.
VICTORY OVER PAIN
(To Crawford W. Long. M. D.)
The olden days were sad for Demon
Pain was king,
His victims writhed in the dragon’s
lair,
No surcease found from suffering’s
sting,
And cruel wounds brought dark des
pair.
Was there no power in heaven or
earth
This raging monster to subdue,
Could tortured souls again give birth
To courage strong and strength re
new?
Yes; along Life’s way there walked
a friend
To man, the eager, waiting throng,
Who dared to force the tyrant to
his end. .
The victory’s won! Echoed the tri
umph ong!
No more the shock of blood and
blade;
Wracked souls of men could rest
In bliss of sleep while Ether’s won
der aid
The surgeon’s hand divinely blest.
To him who led the way to heal
And bless a world, our homage we
would pay,
Humbly at his feet we pause and
kneel.
A nation’s gratitude is his Today.
Mary Venable Womble.
Make hard sauce with soft brown
sugar and butter instead of powd
ered sugar and flavor with rum
flavoring. Fine with steamed pud
dings or baked apple dumplings.

HEREFORD SALE IS BIG BOOST
TO LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY
Northeast Georgia’s livestock in
dustry was given a big boost in Ath
ens when a sale of polled Hereford
beef cattle resulted in placing 59
head of new blood in Northeast Geor
gia counties. Experts rated it one
of the most successful sales and its
importance to developing beef cattle
production is regarded as far-reach
ing.
The animals brought an average of
$146 apiece. Top price was $250 for
which two animals were sold, these
going to Dr. E. O. Kimsey of Steph
ens county, and Dr. Grady E. Clay
of Walton county.
Because its citizens bought 13
head, the largest sold into any one
county, Taliaferro county was pre
sented with a free Hereford. Clarke
county buying 7 head, was next.
Sam Hood and C. W. Hood, Jr., of
Commerce were among the purchas
ers.

By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of Thi* Moody Bible Inatltut*
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for April 14

IIOSEA TELLS OF GOD S
FORGIVING LOVE
LESSON TEXT—Hosca 8:1-7; 14:4*.
GOLDEN TEXT—If we confess our sins,
he Is faithful and Just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous-
MM.- I John 1:8.
God loves sinners! This is th
message of the Bible. God hates
sin, but He loves sinners and is
eager that they should repent and
receive His forgiveness. God even
loves the backslider, the one who
has been in fellowship with Him,
tasted the joys of the eternal prom
ised land and then turned back to
the fleshpots of the world. This is
the special message of the book ol
Hosea, for he deals with a backslid
ing and rebellious Israel, so deter
mined to turn against God’s lovo
that they are described in 11:7 (R.
V.) as being "bent on backsliding.’*
Israel failed to heed God’s warn
ing, did not respond to His loving
call, and went on to judgment.
May none of us be so foolish and
stubborn. God is now calling sin
ners in love and compassion, doing
everything in His power to lead
them to repentance and spiritual
healing. “Today, if ye will hear his
voice, harden not your hearts’’(Ps.
95:7, 8).
I. God Calling Sinners (6:1, 2).
The great loving heart of God
longs after wayward men. Though
they have in deliberate unbelief
turned from Him, yet He sends His
messenger to bring them His gra
cious invitation. No more beautiful
word can be spoken than "Come.**
It speaks of an open door, of a for
giving spirit, of a desire for renewed
fellowship.
Come, O sinner, and meet the
Saviour. He it is who by both life
and death has revealed the fullness
of God’s love to you. In Him you
will find entrance into eternal life
and joy. He says, “I am the door,
by me if any man enter in he shall
be saved” (John 10:9).
Observe also the word “return. ’*
The invitation from God is not only
to those who have never known Him,
but also to the backslider. How
many miserably unhappy backslid
den Christians there are in the
world! Friend, if you are one of
them, this invitation is especially for
you!
11. God’s Dealings With Sinners
(6:3-7).
Our Lord is both compassionate
and faithful in His dealings with
sinners. He will win them with love
and tenderness if they permit Him
to do so, but if necessary He can
also use the rod of punishment or
the storm of unpleasant circum
stances to drive them to Him. Re
member that both the tenderness
and the severity of God are expres
sions of His love.
With Israel God wanted to come
as the gentle, reviving rain from
heaven (v. 3), but because of their
unrepentant attitude (v. 4) He had
to come forth as One who hews down
and destroys (v. 5). Even in thus
breaking down and destroying He is
only preparing to rebuild. As the
surgeon must first hurt in order to
heal, God must sometimes cut deep
ly in order to remove the blight of
sin.
These lines will probably be read
by many who have wondered at the
dealings of God wit’h them. ’ Perhaps
they have been inclined to condemn
Him as being unkind or severe. Let
them be assured that God is love
and that back of all of His dealings
with men there is His tender pur
pose to bring them unto Himself for
salvation or for blessing.
111. God Healing Sinners (14:4-9).
When sinners come to Him with
words of repentance (14:1) God is
ready to meet them and to heal all
of their sins and backslidings. Ob
serve that not only will He heal their
past sins, but will cause their pres
ent position to be such that He may
“love them freely” (v. 4), and then,
their future will be one of great
glory. God is infinitely gracious
and pours out His love without
measure upon the sinner who re
turns to Him.
Verses 5 to 8 give a beautiful pic
ture of God’s blessings on the life of
the regenerated man. The lily (v.
5) speaks of stately royal beauty.
Lebanon (v. 5) is strength and sta
bility, even as the great cedars of
Lebanon were treasured for their
strength. The spreading branches
(v. 6) tell of expansion and growth.
The olive tree (v. 8), the corn and
the vine (v. 7), all speak of fruitful
ness and usefulness. The smell of
Lebanon (v. 6) is the smell of cedar
and bespeaks a life so fragrant that
it spreads around it the “sweet savor
of Christ” (II Cor. 2:15). The ever
green fir tree (v. 8) speaks of con
stant freshness and beauty.
God has all these things in mind
for every Christian, that is, for ev
ery sinner who will repent and turn
to Him through Christ, and for every
backslider who will return to Him
today, ,
